Netflix Canada: Laughter is the Best Medicine and November is The Month for Comic Relief. #StreamTeam

Laughter is the Best Medicine.

November’s is the month to let loose. This month, I have a list to provide you and your family with comic relief when you need it the most – as cold and flu season hits. And it has been bad!

There’s nothing more comforting for a kid when they’re not feeling well, than curling up on the couch with a movie or show like Mr. Popper’s Penguins to take their mind off the sniffles and to get them laughing. Or curling up with a cup of lemon tea and binging on some Grey’s. So, check out this list of laughter-inspired titles for both little and big kids!

Gather the Kids!

Bust a Gut!

1. Shrek Forever After
2. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
3. Despicable Me
4. Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat
5. Kung Fu Panda 2
6. Mr. Popper’s Penguins

November is our busiest month for my husband and I. Myself with travel and work and him with a busy season at work. The weekends are very low-key and we have been spending a lot of time watching Netflix together. Despicable Me, The Cat in the Hat and Mr. Popper’s Penguins have been on loop in our house. We especially love Mr. Popper’s Penguins because, well, Jim Carey. He is hilarious and we all get major laughs!

Got the Sniffles?

We sure did and we have enjoyed some warm and savory pho together. It is a family favorite. Chicken noodle soup is the ultimate comfort food and contains much of the goodness to make you feel better in no time. Check out this simple pho chicken soup recipe that is sure to get you or your little on back on your feet in no time. Click here to learn how to make your own.
